Think CSUN: What Happened to Middle Class Jobs

Are recent job losses in the middle class random and temporary, or do they indicate a long-term trend? William Jennings, emeritus dean of the College of Business and Economics and interim vice president of University Advancement, provides insight into the realities of today’s job market. Jennings discusses how traditional, well-defined, “routine” jobs have lost ground to new types of positions requiring more flexibility and creativity.

Produced by University Advancement, the “Think CSUN” video series features faculty experts at Cal State Northridge. We asked these campus thought leaders to speak clearly, candidly and off-the-cuff on contemporary issues in their fields of expertise.
